Another swampy day

Plan on more of the same. Skies are
mostly sunny early, trending
somewhat cloudier late. There’s
probably a better chance of late-day
storms rolling off the mountains, so
we’ll keep watch. Highs should be a notch or two
less extreme, heading mainly for the mid-90s. As
humidity remains high, temperatures feel more
like 100 during peak heating. Keep on taking it
easy! Winds are from the south around 10 mph.

pedestrian crosses the hot pavement on Pennsylvania Avenue NW in the District. BOTTOM RIGHT: Laticia Brock

accepts a bottle of water from Jordan Gulley of the District’s Department of Human Services. A record high was tied

Monday afternoon in Washington, as the temperature reached at least 98 degrees, equaling the mark from 2002. That

also made it the second-hottest day of the year. It’s the first record high in the city since Sept. 4 last year, when it hit 95

degrees. Tuesday’s weather is expected to be more of the same.

The heat is on — again

The D.C. area on Monday saw a repeat of the high temperatures and humidity that have often visited this summer
